Design of controllers for time delay systems: Integrating and unstable systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The paper deals with design of controllers for integrating and unstable time delay systems. The proposed method is based on the Padé first order time delay approximation. The control system with two feedback controllers is considered.

Ignition delay of bio-fuels in a common-rail compression ignition engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The utility of a novel technique for determining the ignition delay in a compression ignition engine has been shown. This method utilises statistical modelling in the Bayesian paradigm to accurately resolve the start of combustion from a band-pass in ...

Dark Heritage Prospection ‐ Mapping the Treblinka II Extermination Camp Using a Magnetometer Survey and Integrated Archival Sources

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The history of Nazi German extermination camps has, until recently, relied primarily on eyewitness testimony. Very few official documents detailing the facilities survived the war due to the special operation ‘Sonderaktion 1005’, dedicated to hiding their existence and extent.

Ignition delay in an ethanol fumigated common rail diesel engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
A novel method for determining ignition delay is presented. This method utilises combustion resonance as a means of determining the onset of ignition. Results are shown from an ethanol fumigation study comprising of substitutions up to 50% at full, three-

Biogas production from Opuntia stricta Haw.: microbial diversity and solid load influence on sludge recycle systems

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The search for alternative and sustainable energy sources becomes urgent as energy demand increases and fossil fuels become less available, especially in water‐scarce regions such as the Brazilian semi‐arid region, where current projections of global warming and the expansion of arid and semi‐arid zones point to a future of desertification ...

Reliable H∞ filtering for discrete time-delay systems with randomly occurred nonlinearities via delay-partitioning method [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The official published version can be found at the link below.In this paper, the reliable H∞ filtering problem is investigated for a class of uncertain discrete time-delay systems with randomly occurred nonlinearities (RONs) and sensor failures. RONs are

The Grey Zone of Stakeholder Engagement: Misalignment as a Manifestation of Greyness in Stakeholder Collaboration

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study identifies and conceptualises the grey zone of stakeholder engagement and explores how it manifests in a collaborative context related to the promotion of a circular economy. While prior research on stakeholder engagement has highlighted the positive, value‐creating bright side or the harmful dark side of stakeholder engagement, we ...

Ignition delay measurements of straight run naphtha

open access: yes, 2017
Experiments and surrogate modeling have been preformed to assess the ignition characteristics of naphtha for its use in advance engines. Naphtha, which has low octane number, is proposed as a promising fuel for advanced compression ignition (CI) engines.
